Q: Are you interested in robots? Why?

A: Definitely, I am a fan of robots. I am keen on suchcutting-edge technologies and I firmly believe that, with technological development, robots will make a significant difference on our life. I think my fascination of robots grew from watching science fiction films in my childhood. Those inconceivable movie plots have been turned into reality in the past few years,and I’m extremely curious about living a life with robots in the future.

当然，我是一个机器人迷。我非常喜欢这样的尖端科技，我坚信随着科技的发展，机器人将会给我们的生活带来巨大的改变。我想我对机器人的迷恋是从小看科幻电影开始的。在过去的几年里，那些匪夷所思的电影情节都变成了现实，我对未来和机器人一起生活充满了好奇。

拓展话题问题：

Q: Will robots replace human beings in the workplace completely?

A: Well, I don’t agree with this viewpoint, though definitely robots will play a more important role in the workplace. As far as I am concerned, there will appear a new form of division of labour, which means that humans take the creative or nonmanual work, while robots take the mechanical or manual ones. However, this surely will result in some social problems such as unemployment. To what extent we shall employ robots will be a controversial topic for our society, but surely it will not be a complete replacement.

嗯，我不同意这个观点，尽管机器人肯定会在工作场所发挥更重要的作用。在我看来，未来将会出现一种新的劳动分工形式，这意味着人类从事创造性或非手工工作，而机器人从事机械或手工工作。然而，这肯定会导致一些社会问题，如失业。我们将在何种程度上使用机器人将是我们社会的一个有争议的话题，但它肯定不会完全取代人类工作。
